These oatmeal chocolate cookies are some of my favorite cookies of all time. They are chewy, yet remain slightly crispy on the outside. Hope you love them!

Time: 1 1/2 hours

Yield: about 70 cookies

Recipe from Jamie Cooks It Up!

1 C butter softened

1 C shortening

1 1/2 C brown sugar

1 1/2 C white sugar

4 eggs

2 t vanilla

1 t water

3 C flour

2 t baking soda

2 t salt

2 t baking powder

1/2 t nutmeg

1/2 t cinnamon

4 C oatmeal (quick cooking or regular)

4 C chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi sweet, I like the milk)

1. Cream together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar. Cream the mixture well, now! I would get to creaming this buttery bliss for about 4 minutes. Add your eggs and beat for 2 minutes more.

2. Add your vanilla and water and mix just until combined.

3. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients (all but the chocolate chips) together with a wooden spoon.

4. Add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture and stir to incorporate. Add your chocolate chips, give them a stir to incorporate and you are good to go.

5. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a sprayed cookie sheet.

6. Bake at about 350 degrees for 8 minutes. (For convection ovens bake at 325 for 6 1/2 minutes). Don’t over bake my friends! When your cookies have cracks down the middle, take them out and let them finish cooking on the pan for about 3-5 minutes.

Then…..yum.

Yum-balina.

Scum-diddlie-umtious.

Swell….real swell!
